THE NEW YORK TIMES MAJOR US CITIES UNDER ATTACK BY ALIENS! (dated May 31st, 200-) Reports are surfacing regarding attacks on major cities by ‘alien creatures,’ dubbed ‘Xen wildlife.’ These wildlife have been relentlessly badgering cities such as Alamogordo and Boston, with ant-like and gorilla-like creatures dismantling infrastructure and maiming soldiers and civilians alike. US Homeland security have been ramping up efforts in quelling these attacks, however with the recent onset of portal storms, logistics are becoming increasingly complicated and tangled. Civilians on the ground have reported many small towns and municipalities to be compromised and lost, and death tolls around the US are rising to the tens of thousands. Other major US cities such as Dallas, Los Angeles, and Washington DC are in a state of panic, with riots and looting breaking out across their metroplexes. Homeland Security and the National Guard are collaborating with state enforcement agencies to institute a country-wide martial law and curfew order, in order to quell the violence and reduce death tolls. Congress and the House are reaching a bi-partisan solution that will grant the military full override for their army procedures, and direct all leadership to the commander-in-chief and his military cabinet. Furthermore, they are requesting the aid of the United Nations and NATO to deliver military and personnel aid to the continental US, however reports are emerging that these attacks are now going global. Canada and Mexico have already provided aid. The origin of such alien attacks have been pinpointed to the incident at the Black Mesa research facility, where a particle reactor named the “Lambda Reactor” encountered a meltdown. Facility employees and HECU marines stayed on-site to combat the alien invaders, however their efforts proved to be fruitless. HECU marines and homeland security opted to instead use nuclear warheads to contain the outbreak of wildlife. However it, too, proved to be ineffective. Portal storms have also been damaging interstate and US highway infrastructure around the country as well. These storms are interdimensional in nature, with distinctive cyclone clouds and large bolts of cloud-to-ground lightning striking as they move, brightening the landscape in a cobalt-blue hue. They are also the gateway for these creatures from their home dimension of Xen. These storms have also been responsible for downing major sections of the electrical grid, with more than 30 states offline or partially offline. Gas, hydroelectric, internet, and water pipelines and infrastructure are also at-risk or have been damaged or destroyed. Supplies such as food, water, and medical aid have also been severely hampered by the attacks, with one report stating that a convoy of 30 semi trucks traveling to Las Cruces, New Mexico, were ripped to pieces by these hostile invaders. Citizens and residents of affected towns and cities are urged to stay indoors and avoid these extraterrestrial wildlife at all costs, as they are highly dangerous and resilient to handheld and ranged weapons. If you have trouble identifying what they look like, look for these key signs: -Yellow and green markings. -Emerald armor. -Strange effects (lightning, alien energy, etc) on their body -Gorilla-like or bug-like structure, with the height of a small child (4-4.5 feet) or grown adult (5.9-6 feet). -Un-earthly resemblance.
Evacuation centers are being set up in the states of New York, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Please check with your local law enforcement agencies for more information. CURFEW ACROSS THE MAINLAND US IS FROM 7 AM TO 5 PM, PLEASE COMPLY OR FACE ARREST BY THE NATIONAL GUARD.
